Data request under Art. 82.4 of CACM
State of Play
TITRE
Overview
 Article 82.4:
“The Agency, in cooperation with ENTSO for Electricity, shall draw up by six
months after the entry into force of this Regulation a list of the relevant information
to be communicated by ENTSO for Electricity to the Agency in accordance with
Articles 8(9) and 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 714/2009. The list of relevant
information may be subject to updates. ENTSO for Electricity shall maintain a
comprehensive, standardised format, digital data archive of the information
required by the Agency.”
 On 2 February, ACER sent a letter to ENTSO-E with the
list, including all information items the Agency deemed
necessary to perform its duties

Still unclear status
Will not be provided as the related improvement
in the TP was not taken on board
Will not be provided by ENTSO-E, and ACER
should continue to collect this from NRAs
ACER should look for alternatives and its
feasibility

Compulsory provision of D-1 NTC
Compulsory provision of EIC codes for generation units in
the TP

from the capacity allocation mechanism
All indicators referring to Utilisation of the network (e.g. use
of critical branches)

Overview
 ACER’s views
 A significant amount of time has been invested in this
issue with limited progress (deadlock?)
 Improvements of TP are welcomed but it will address
only a (very) small part of our problem
 Collecting data through NRAs is inefficient ( a 3 layer
exercise (ACER-NRAS-TSOs), which involves 2x28+1
institutions) and has no legal basis

The fact that future regional entities (e.g. coordinated capacity
calculators) will soon become the main data sources reinforces the
inefficiency of the NRAs’ channel
 Most of the requested information will be needed by
ENTSO-E for its own monitoring duties
 The fact that some methodologies are not yet
developed cannot be an excuse for not committing to
provide this data and for not preparing the grounds for
a proper collection process

Next steps
Request to the EC to clarify what CACM can
deliver
Alternative path to collect this data: through
the TP? the Winter Package? An Agency’s
recommendation on capacity calculation
methodology and cost-sharing methodology?
other?
